This.mailDoc without attaching the file

Hello!

I was wondering, is there a way to use acrobats email function without attaching the file to the mail?

I just want to mail some information regarding the file not the file itself since it usually is very heavy files I work with.

But when I use this.mailDoc it automatically attaches the file.

There's a method called app.mailMsg which allows you to generate a normal email, without any PDF attachments, but it won't work in Reader.

Another option is to use the app.launchURL method (which does work in Reader) and use a "mailto:" command as its target URL.

That will cause an email to be generated, via the browser.
